After breakfast, drive for one hour to Fatehpur Sikri, a world heritage site and the ancient Mughal capital of India. Completed in 1571 by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, who was known to be a very tolerant ruler, the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri blend both Islamic and Hindu elements in their architectural style. Experts argue that Fatehpur Sikri is the greatest accomplishment of Mughal architecture, surpassed only in reputation but not in its beauty by the Taj Mahal. The cultural politics of the site remain to be written; perhaps the mammoth chess board where human figures were used as chess pieces and moved at the emperor’s will, provides a clue.
